You are out of your god damned mind to be logically equating modifying your OS with piracy.

Most “bypasses” are using admin tools and commands to keep accounts in company or local for enterprises. Its hardly hacking. Microsoft just wants to forcibly inflate their registration numbers. Same thing with one drive, the start menu pulling bing content… Etc.
Its gonna get worse faster as people bail on the eroding enshitified os… Making them try to forcibly lock in other people on the platform harder.
Related: DRM and piracy. The more invasive it got - the worse it was for paying customers… While the DRM would be stripped out by the pirates. You’d think they’d know better.

i think the real answer is just to not install windows 11 and install linux instead.

Right there with you. A fair number of companies are as well. Unfortunately not all software is “uniformly supported” so its really a mixed bag when it comes to who can flip the switch and who can’t.
There’s a lot of costs to consider as well.
All said - it says a lot when companies are willingly taking that plunge just to shed micro$ofts shit.

Except this isn’t stealing windows. It’s installing it on unsupported hardware and/or without needing user accounts to be tied to microsoft accounts. It has nothing to do with bypassing windows activation systems.

your bypassing hardware requirements, that could be against the EULA, and it actually is if you read it. they dont want people sharing videos violating their EULA

Your inability to use your/you’re correctly really puts the cherry on top of your show of idiocy here, it’s fucking hilarious.
Take a hint from the votes, and learn basic grammar and spelling. Thought I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re actually unable to learn better, since every single comment you’ve made makes it very clear you’re dumb as fuck.
1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 13 hours ago
but your…bypassing their software requirements…without their permission…thus breaking the license agreement you agree to installing windows. Listen dude i get it, its fucking stupid, but at the same time, i don’t see what microsoft is doing is wrong (in regards to pulling bypass videos, not this guys account)

What grounds do they have to pull those videos?
You are aware there is no law called “If you show someone how to modify the product I sold to them (licensed to them too, as that makes no difference) I get to pull down their content” right?
1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 12 hours ago
i didn’t say it was a law, i said if its in their license agreement its reasonable for them to ask a company hosting the videos to pull said violations. If google said no then that would be ok
